"Washington, Oct. 7. Special. The
postoffice department has held up the
appointment of John C. B. Morton at
Morehead City, N. C, which was an
nounced Thursday, in order to give
Chairman Rollins and National Com
mitteeman Duncan an opportunity to
be heard,' but it was stated at the de
partment today that unless something
is presented against the record of Mor- j
ton? his nomination will probably go to
Ihe' senate for confirmation.
There are interesting features to this
case the most significant of which is
that the recommendationos of State
Chairn;an Rollins and National Com
mittpenan Duncan were turned down
by the postmaster general.

for it is to be expected that he will

Russia, France and herself. It is equal-

failure if for no other reason than be

repents her folly on that occasion. It
is difficult to say which was more stu

away from England or her present
clumsy overture of friendship.

principal contributor to the Paris press
this week and the burden of his com

really cordial the German sentiments
and German policy towards France are.
The effects of his utteiance has again

my whole being revolts at the atrocity
of such terrible outrages. I would
readily do anything in my power to
prevent their recurrence. : .
"I understand the feeling present
and indignation which logically arises
upon the perpetration of such crimes.
The horrible crimes deserve speedy and
severe punishment and no" good man
can contemplate without having
aroused witnm mm tne utmost ex

Buchanan Church and Parsonrge
Destroyed Armed With Axe He

Insane and in Jail Now !
Richmond, Va., Oct. 7. Rev. Coleman
Boose, pastor of the BaptisJ Churc) at
Buchanan, today went on a rampage,
broke up all the furniture in his home,
set fire to the house, started a confla
gration in the basement of his church,
took his seat in the pulpit and awaited
the result "or the devil."
The church, the parsonage arid an
other dwelling were totally destroyed
by the flames. The church was cen
trally located, and, there being a stiff
wind at the time, heroic efforts were
necessary to save the town.
Boose has been arrested and Is in
jail. t He had become either violently
angry or insane, probably the latter.
He will be examined by a commission
of lunacy early in the week. It is stated
that there - was evidence of a liquid
which very much resembled the preach
er's name.
The populace of Buchanan became
greatly excited during the conflagra
tion, women believing that the insane
man would eventually attack them. He
armed ; himself with an axe and pro
ceeded down the street, knocking in
several doors. He put up a stiff fight
before he was overpowered.
THAT CONSUMPTION CURE
Looks Like Prof .Behring Had Spoken
Too Soon
London, Oct. 7. Prof. Behring' s an
nouncement at the session of the tu
berculosis congress in Paris of the dis
covery of a cure for consumption has
aroused the keenest interest and uni
versal comment. Together with the
discovery which he made today, came
the news that in this statement Prof.
Behring would not diviulge fully what
he actually had discovered. There is
still work to 'be done before his task
is complete and he is not willing to put
other investigators on a level with
himself, for then one of them- might
reach the goal before he did.
Prof. Behring is also reported to have
said that he intended to keep the full
secret until next August, with a view
to obtaining a pecuniary reward whifi
would enable him to goj on with his
work. This caused widespread criti-jat last and they would haVe nothing j tributed, be replaced in the treasury of

Behring believes that it will be equally
effective in the cases of human beings.

Fighting for Control of Wabash
Toledo, O., Oct. 7. The Gou'ld -Ramsey
contesfe'f or control of the Wabash
at the annual meeting here next Tues
day broke out here today in an appli
cation made to the common pleas
court ,by Joseph Ramsey for the ap
pointment of inspectors of election.
The Ohio law provides for inspectors,
that the interests of the stockholders
of corporations may be guarded. . In
his application Mr. Ramsey says the
inspectors who served at last year's
meeting and who were served next
Tuesday are not qualified by experience
to serve and pass upon the eligibility
of directors.
These men are Frederick Reynolds,
nephew of Colonel Reynolds, director
of the Wabash; A. W. Colton of, the
Wabash steamship line, and C. W.
Newton, local agent. Mr, Ramsey
charges that certain stockholders in
tend to vote fraudulent, illegal and
defective proxies, and asks that new
and disinterested inspectorsxbe named.
Mr. Ramsey also makes affidavits that
he Js still president of the road and
represents 10 per cent of the stockhold
ers. " . :, ' . '
The court will appoint the inspectors
if Mr. Ramsey can prove by Monday
that he represents 10 per cent of the
stockholders. v .
TWO FAMOUS PRISONERS

Extradition for Years
Montreal, Oct. 7. The last chapter,
as far as Canada is concerned, in the
celebrated Gaynor and Greene case
was closed today when the two men
left here this morning. A large crowd
of people were , present to see them
off, but the most rioitable things' of the
departure was ' the large number of
United States secret service : men who
were around. They were in charge of
W. J. Flynn, head of the secret ser
vice bureau of New York.
On behalf of the Dominion govern
ment Silas H. Carpenter, chief of the
Montreal detective force ,who once
kidnapped the two men from Quebec)
and Inspector McMahon went with
the party 'as far as Rouse's Point, N.

Rouse's Point and Uacolle, Canada.
The two prisoners had been notified
that they were probably to be re

them in the debtors' ward.

Chairman Landis of Printing Com
mittee Which Will Investigate
Government Printing Talks About
Useless Expenditures pf Money A
Remarkable Publication V
Washington, Oct. 7. Representatives
Charles B. Landis of Indiana, chair
man of the house committee on print- '
ing and chairman of the sub-committee
iof the joint printing committee that
wilt investigate the government print-. '
ingj expressed the opinion today that
if proper measures are passed by con
gress one million dollars a year can be
saved in the official printing bills.
'There no dishonesty in the gov
ernment printing office," said Mr.
Landis, "it is simply extravagance. I j
will give you an illustration: . ' '
"There is a certain financial publica
tion turned out by one of the executive
departments. I understood that it tost
the; government $100,000 a year to print
and distribute it. This particular docu-
ment ought to appeal to bankers, but
it does. not. Now the bankers in my
district will contribute to my cam
paign, make speeches, for me and sup
port me in every possible way, but
they will not accept the financial publi
cation In Question.
'"theV have sent me tearful appeals
not! to send it to them. But there is
some mystery about this document,
You can not get away from it.
"I went to Porto Rico and to Alaska, .
but the publication followed me. Bank
ers : have written that they . don't want
it and that It is only an annoyance ot -
t them tJ receive it. Butr the report U
turned but just the same, andlit is an
extravagance that should be stopped."
Mr. Landis 'has given a great deal ol
study to the question of public print
ing! and he finds that all of the ex
travagance of which so much-complaint
has been made is not in the cost, but
volume of government printing. He
declares that there are entirely too
many annual reports printed, also,

Planned to Divert Attention and Al
lay Jap Dissatisfaction
Tokio, Oct. 7. The coming visit t
Japan waters of the squadron com
manded by Vice-Adnral Sir Noel, com-njiander-in-chief
bf the China station,
will, it is understood, be made the oc
casion, soon after the ratification of
peace, of a grand naval review which,
with Admiral Togo's triumphal entry.i
into the city, will offer a splendid oc
casion for diverting the people's at
tention from the from the unsatisfac
tory terms of the treaty.
It is believed the authorities will d
everything possible to utilize this event
as demonstrations of the fact that th
peace of Asia is garded by the two pow
erful allies. American warships ar
expected to be present at the naval
review. '
Many iof those who allow themselves
to be carried away by the tide of dis
satisfaction which set in when the
peace terms became known here are
gradually becoming, reconciled to th
situation. .
